Upper/Lower body split

I am currently using a traditional 3-day workout split. I am looking into changing my routine up to bust through a plateau. I am looking to change to a upper/lower body split (see below). Have anyone tried a split similar to this? If so, what did you think of it.

upper/lower body splits are a great way to train, but keep in mind that you dont have to work each muscle group with as many sets per workout compared to if you were only training a muscle 1x a week. for example, if you do chest 1x a week you might do 10sets for a workout. but when you do chest 2x a week do something like 5 sets on upper body day 1 and 5 sets on upper body day 2. also, make sure not to focus your routine on compound lifts and limit the isolation work. gotta_squat has a great routine and its very similar to the routine I am doing right now(along with some other memebers here). i suggest you use periodization and dual factor(loading and unloading) to maximize your gains.

Thank you for your advice. Can you post your routine? how much rest time between sets? I am going to try this out.

heres the routine. rest periods or 2-3 mins for strength days and 1-2 mins on hypertrophy days depedning on what rep/set scheme you are doing. for undulating periodization, you can undulate the rest periods just as you do the rep/sets.
